Dr. Marton won the Right Livelihood Award in 2010. She observed Gaza's hospitals in 1988, motivating her to bring these conditions to light and advocate for systemic change, founding Physicians for Human Rights/Israel. The organization focuses on health in Occupied Palestine and Israel, including serving Bedouins in "unrecognized villages." Dr. Marton is also a veteran fighter for women's rights.

Their two organizations collaborate closely, especially assisting transport patients through the barriers imposed by the Occupation.
